GP Fees

We don’t think its fair for patients to pay around $90 in the CBD for simple issues that only take a few minutes to sort out.

Our fees are based on the time actually spent with the doctor.

As a result our average gap fee is less than half the Melbourne CBD average.

We will take the time to properly deal with the issue at hand - it takes as long as it takes, but we don't allocate longer than needed and charge the patient for it. If the problem is sorted, its sorted.

The way we can make this work is by carefully allocating an appropriate time to each patient appointment with our booking system. See below.
